The confusion of people, animals, tents u.s.w. is the most picturesque that I have seen in my life wrote Mueller in 1875 from Cairo to Rudolf von Eitelberger. The painter was particularly impressed by the bustle on the various markets, which provided him with numerous ideas and motives. Through the representation of the different "ethnic groups", which differ from each other by color, head shape, hair growth and facial cut, as well as the description of the different costumes he could provide a colorful picture of that country, whose fascination him prisoner since his first visit in 1873 held. This illustration shows a sugarcane market. After sugar cane was grown only in the southern half of the Nile Valley, the sketch was created during or in the wake of Muller's stay in Upper Egypt in January and February 1881st was the center of sugarcane cultivation (and is) Armant, a small town between Luxor and Aswan, so it's possible that the scene plays this city outside the walls. This is a relatively large market which, compared to miller various market representations of Cairo, however, is rural. Here not determine camels appearance, but donkeys are laden with heavy loads. The concentration of those present is focused on buying and selling, as the group of three men standing shows in the foreground, the anecdotal content of the presentation is limited to this gesture. First and foremost is the description of the bustle of the market, without being aware of a spectator pursues his occupation in which everyone involved - of course it also so popular with Müller water water-bearer is not missing. Müller was delighted in Upper Egypt especially the integrity of the population. "I wish you could picturesque brown and black Arabs, Nubians, and Bischaris Barabras see that here in the colorful crowds on the streets hang around" he wrote on 01.05.1881 from Aswan to his sisters. "And the people !!" was it on 28/02/1881 enthusiastically Gherga to Pettenkofen, "Something could be, if one sees the groups in the squares and in the streets." The painter made during his numerous stays Egypt face trials, which he later integrated into the large compositions. He hung up the execution of the heads usually pay more attention than to the design of clothing and ambience which faces often so that the impression of applied photographs arouse (a good example is the elementary school in Upper Egypt, Austrian Gallery Belvedere, Inv No . 4646). The same is also reflected in the present study, where he turned the head of the highest in the middle standing attention, but the environment attributed less importance, indeed sometimes even be contented with suggestive brushstrokes. The comparison with the executed painting, whose whereabouts today is unknown (see Fig. Next to it), shows that Mueller had only transferred the rough composition. Remained the same, the left part of the walls, the standing and squatting group in the foreground, and donkeys. No takeover, however, found the Wasserträgerin and the elegant male Rückenfigur right that has posted their barrels on a set on slopes tabletop. The work has been auctioned in 1892 under the title "market in Cairo" at the estate auction. 1998 The study of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere was handed over as a legacy.
